The Anachronistic Turn: Historical Fiction, Drama, Film and
Television is the first study to investigate the ways in which the
creative use of anachronism in historical fictions can allow us to
rethink the relationship between past and present. Through an
examination of literary, cinematic, and popular texts and
practices, this book investigates how twenty-first century
historical fictions use creative anachronisms as a way of
understanding modern issues and anxieties. Drawing together a wide
range of texts across all forms of historical fiction - novels,
dramas, musicals, films and television - this book re-frames
anachronism not as an error, but as a deliberate strategy that
emphasises the fictionalising tendencies of all forms of historical
writing. The book achieves this by exploring three core themes: the
developing trends in the twenty-first century for creators of
historical fiction to include deliberate anachronisms, such as
contemporary references, music, and language; the ways in which the
deliberate use of anachronism in historical fiction can allow us to
rethink the relationship between past and present, and; the way
that contemporary historical fiction uses anachronism to better
understand modern issues and anxieties. This book will appeal to
students and scholars of historical fiction, contemporary
historical film and television studies, and historical theatre
studies.
